EN:First, let me just start off by saying that I'm sorry for the delay of this post :(. I promised you the day before yesterday but some problems came up and I really didn't have the time to do the post. Well, redemption..er, .the post is here :D I even made a video for you guys, please be gentle for it's my first attempt ;;)

So, secondly let me tell you my frustration with my sweet little camera. I love it, takes great pictures, even if it's a compact one but the green, oh...the green. When I tried to catch the exact shade of green of this nail polish, I just couldn't, no matter what settings I had X( Actually, if I think about it better, it's a particular shade of green that's the problem, and this nail polish happens to be in that shade. Oh, wow, lucky me! Anyways, I searched for a picture with this shade of green so you can see what a beautiful color it is.

Back to the nails. Ah, the nails...I may not post NOTDs as often as I'd liked but I do make them special, don't I? :D For the base nail polish I went for my love, the Fiery Coral from Oriflame and the Flormar Graffiti crackle polish on top

I figured I should first tell you some things about the crackle though I know that for many of you, this is nothing new. Well, for me, it's the first crackle and I surely there are some of you not hooked on this trend.

It's nice that the guys at Flormar printed some instructions on the bottle on hoe to use zah crackle. Here's what they're saying:
Apply one thick coat of Flormar Nail Emanel. Wait 4 minutes. Apply one thick coat of Graffiti-Top in one stroke and avoid going backwards. Wait 2 minutes and then apply a top coat if you want a glossy finish.

And here's what I'm saying:

Of course you can use any kind of nail polish for the base and apply it like you normally do. I've certainly waited longer than 4 minutes in order to be sure that the polish was perfect and I won't damage it some how, for I am an expert at ruining my nails shortly after painting them in pretty colors :D I applied 2 coats, like I normally do and then I started with the crackle.

The first 2 fingers...eemm, not so great, actually it was worse on my second finger than the first because I applied a thinner coat. But then I started to get the hang of it, visible in the pictures also :D It says you have to wait 30 seconds to dry and it really dries up quickly, I might dare say even faster than 30 seconds, but then again, I might be wrong :D But it dries quickly, that's a sure thing :D

To clear some things up, the viscosity of the polish is similar to your normal polish. Superficial Beauty told me that she didn't like the China Glaze crackle because she found it too thick and this one isn't (you can also see the thickness in the video). Personally, I liked the look of the crackle without a top coat (in the pictures, I didn't apply a top coat) but hated the feel, kind of sandpaper-y. Yuk! So I applied a top coat and it's much better.

What else to say? I don't know! Oh, maybe if it isn't clear already: I LUV THIS CRACKLE POLISH! :P And if you'd like to know additional stuff, that I've left out (since it's just my third NOTD I'm still a newbie ;;) ) please let me know.

What do you say, Flormar crackle in or out? Now I want the lighter green, and the yellow, and one orange aand maybe I should just tell you what I don't want: black and pink :>
